The whole field of academic science research is dominated by the need to get grant money, which means submitting lots of grant proposals, hoping some will get approved.
What a racket worth billions tossed into a black hole.

My knowledge of science issues is limited, but I have wondered about the practical and applied use of these projects. Such as the one Elon Musk has been working on, requiring several million dollars to keep going.
Just because someone believes these particles may not exist does not make it so. Real science is always searching for the flaws in current theories. Nothing is ever settled science.
It’s the same in all fields including the climate crap and medice. It’s about money not science.

I’ve said as much here for years, only to be roundly cast aside as a crack-pot.
This could have been foretold by the plagiarist One-stone’s Nobel Prize given the year after the committee said there were no entries deserving of the prize. “Einstein’s prizeworthy work” had actually been done by several before him. The prize was then given was on the exact same nomination support for Albert Einstein from the year before.
It was a political vote. Other than sifting for the best and brightest from college physics classes to be sequestered for special secret projects, graduates thereafter have been fed BS quantum nonsense.
Particles are only the beans for bean-counting the universe. They don’t begin to explain the foundations of the universe at all.
they need to turn their brain power to something useful like Climate Science!
It’s past time that REAL scientists expose the kooks calling themselves climate scientists, for the 3rd rate hacks that they are with real science!
Schools get funding from governmenrts (in the US it seems the Chinese are giving grants;)) and others to perform research. When I took college courses and night and on weekends for 20-years, it seemed to me that politicians had more to do with a state college getting government funding than the paper itself. No longer were research projects or the basis for the research important, but rather each state getting their share of the USG funding available, and this required women and minorities being put as the lead researchers. Gone are the days when competent and dedicated researchers perform scientific experiments.
The whole scientific research world seems broken. The pressure to get grants, publish papers, review peers, etc. creates an environment disconnected from theoretical goal of actually advancing science, especially on certain topics (climate change) that are politically charged.
The pressure leads to ‘back scratching’, you positively review my paper and I’ll do the same for you, leads to 50% of published ‘peer reviewed’ papers being wrong.
...not that I have a solution ;p
Not unlike what goes on in theoretical physics.
The same is true for these Climate Change hoaxers as well, it is all about the Grant money.
Sabine is excellent, check out her Youtube channel: Science without all the Gobbledygook.
Could also apply to climate "science", transgender "health care", "green" energy research, etc.
Sabine is a wicked purveyor of truth...
Kicks ass and takes names...
